French Inflation Stays Cool as ECB Mulls Rate Path

### Inflation Remains Below Target in France, Potential Interest Rate Cuts Ahead

France has reported an inflation rate of 1.5% for the month, according to EU-harmonized data. This slight increase from the previous month remains in line with economists' expectations but is still below the European Central Bank's 2% target. Previously, inflation rates stayed elevated due to impacts from the energy sector, particularly influenced by geopolitical events. The consistent undershooting of the inflation target suggests that there could be forthcoming reductions in interest rates to stimulate economic activity.
